In an exclusive revealed by Variety, it has been officially announced that contemporary cinema’s most terrifying clown, Art, will be moving from the screen to the web page as a novelization of Terrifier 2 is released. The novel is a partnership involving Titan Books, Cineverse, and Bloody Disgusting, with the book set to be published through the upcoming Terrifier 3‘s theatrical run. Penning the novel is Tim Waggoner, a veteran of horror fiction and the writer behind novelizations of the likes of Halloween Kills and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.

As cited on Variety, an official synopsis for the upcoming novel reads:

“In this gruesome novelization of the hit horror film, the nightmarish Art the Clown returns from the dead to continue his murderous and mad spree in the sleepy town of Miles County, one particular year just after they survived the events of “Terrifier.” Little do they know the nightmare is about to commence anew.
Resurrected by a sinister entity, Art is back with an appetite for murder and mayhem—setting his sights on the not too long ago bereaved teenager Sienna and her younger brother Jonathan. The streets are about to run with blood, and Sienna will have to somehow survive this gruesome Halloween evening and find out how to defeat a brutal and unforgiving killing machine from beyond her nightmares.

There’s no stopping Art when his sights are set on you…”

‘Terrifier 3’ Has the Franchise’s Biggest Budget Yet

An unexpected hit, the very first Terrifier burst onto screens in 2018 in the US and quickly proved to be one more enormous hit in the globe of low-price range horror. Central to the movie’s triumph was the skin-crawling Art the Clown, portrayed with violent poise by David Howard Thornton. After a sequel landed the franchise a related good results price to the original, a third was swiftly announced and became the very first in the franchise to get a multi-million-dollar price range. Terrifier 3 is reported to expense about $2 million, and will hopefully see the price range place into eye-catching sensible effects that will preserve the series’ streak of gruesome and inventive horror alive.

Terrifier 3 sees Lauren LaVera reprise her part as Sienna Shaw, the older sister of Jonathan (Elliot Fullam), with them each joined in the ensemble by the likes of the very first film’s sole survivor, Samantha Scaffidi as Vicky Heyes, wrestler Chris Jericho as Burke, Daniel Roebuck as Santa Claus, and, of course, Howard Thornton. Originally scheduled for an October 25, 2024 release, the film was not too long ago brought forward by two weeks, with the official release date now set for October 11, 2024.

An official novelization of Terrifier 2 will be released this Fall. You can stream the film it is primarily based upon correct now on Screambox, with the third installment, Terrifier 3, set to release on October 11.
